Where The Wild Things ALMOST Are.

The original art from the Maurice Sendak book, "Where the Wild Things Are".

First image from the upcoming live action adaptation of "Where the Wild Things Are", directed by Spike Jonze (director of "Being John Malkovich" and some of the most amazing music videos I've ever seen) has been released today.

I gotta say...

Looks like they're on the right track with this one. I'm very curious to see what they did with the actual "Wild Things" themselves. Also, how do you expand such a threadbare script into a 90 minute film?

This first image, though, is very encouraging.

Enjoy.
